The locations of earthquakes support the theory of plate tectononics by the recorded happening are mostly on the outline of tectonic plates.
The distribution of earthquakes on earth is not random. They tend to be concentrated in certain places which are thought to mark the boundaries of the tectonic plates.
For a map of global seismicity that demonstrates this concentration of seismic activity in zones or bands, please see the related link. and my name is Jeff
Mostearthquakes occur along along tectonic plate boundaries because the movement of tectonic plates causes stress in Earth's crust.
The theory of plate tectonics helps explain the location of earthquakes, as they frequently happen along fault lines.

Observations of earthquakes and volcanic activity support the theory of plate tectonics because they both occur on boundaries. Boundaries are where plates meet and either converge, diverge or transform.
plate tectonics
Earthquakes, volcanoes, canyons, mid-ocean ridges, mountain ranges and so on and the results of plate tectonics.
theory of plate tectonics
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.

The theory of plate tectonics
The theory that the Earth's plates move slowly to new locations over geological time is known as the Plate Tectonics Theory. It was created by Alfred Wegener.
